I thought this was a funny and pithy piece on why Rick Perry should admire Superman that my cousin posted, so I’m reposting it here.

Thanks for the link. Superhero comics tend to be behind the times in increasing various forms of diversity. The other character I’m excited about, who has come onto the scene in recent years (brought back by one of my favorite authors, Grant Morrison) is the new Batwoman, who is the highest-profile gay character in comics. She’s got her own book coming out, by fabulous artist JH WIlliams III.

Your post reminded me of a recent npr.com Monkey See blog post by Glen Weldon about the new multi-racial Spiderman, Miles Morales, suggesting that a little more diversity among comic book characters might change the “multiverse.”
